Chapter 228
No wonder he was the heir to the Everhart family, the top clan!
Lemira tiptoed, craning her neck to catch a glimpse of what the Everhart heir looked like. But the towering black-suited bodyguard blocked her view, allowing her only a peek at a tall man stepping out of the elevator. He was dressed in a dark suit, sleeves rolled up to reveal clean, slender fingers. The man walked with a steady pace, his facial features blurred under the light.
Lemira suddenly jumped up, waving her hands and shouting, “Mr. Everhart, I’m with Maple Group, I p>
Before Lemira could finish, a bodyguard clamped a hand over her mouth and pushed her towards the staircase.
“Lady, if you cause any more trouble, don’t say we didn’t warn you p>
After saying that, the bodyguard left.
Lemira sat on the staircase and sighed. Meeting that man wasn’t going to be easy.
After much thought, she called Thaddeus, “Hmm, I’ve got something to tell you. It looks like Maple Group’s investment is going to fall through.” “The investment’s falling through? Why would you think that p>
Thaddeus was amused. How could that man possibly not invest in Maple Group? He was practically laying the opportunities at Lemira’s feet. Lemira recounted her encounter with Asher, “I even saw the Everhart heir p>
“What? You saw him p>
“Yeah, but he’s not easy to meet. I only saw his back for a second before his bodyguard stopped me at the restaurant staircase p>
Lemira sighed, “Thaddeus, do you have any way to meet that man and talk about the investment p>
After all, Thaddeus’ family was quite wealthy; they should have a way. She didn’t want to lose to Asher and the rest.
“That’s easy, I’ll make some calls p>
“Great p>
After hanging up, Lemira stood up, dusted off her skirt, and decided to head back first.
“Well, Lemira, what are you doing hiding at the staircase? Got stopped by the Everhart heir’s bodyguard, didn’t you p>
Evelina had come by to use the restroom and had heard Lemira’s voice, thinking she had heard wrong.
Lemira turned around and rolled her eyes at the fake angel, “None of your fricking business p>
“Lemira, why do you have to
compete with me? You even ran
els
away from home in a huff. Yes, you’ve got more live-streaming and better grades. But your achievements are nothing in Orvin! Without the Langston family, you’re nothing p>
Lemira laughed out loud, her eyes cold, “Oh, maybe I should just tell Asher that I’m coming back p>
Evelina’s face stiffened. She didn’t
want Lemira to come back at all.
She wished Lemira would never
return, so she could be the only
darling daughter of the Langonet
family, adored by her six brothers.
Evelina’s expression turned unnatural, “But Asher has already kicked you out, you can’t come back p>
“Ha, I’ll always be his biological
sister, unlike you without blood ties. When the time comes, you, the adopted daughter with zero grades due to cheating and terrible at video games, what do you have to compare with me? The people of Orvin won’t like trash like you, will they p>
Evelina was so angry she lunged at Lemira, attempting to hit her, “You witch p>
Standing on the staircase, Lemira easily dodged. Evelina missed her slap, lost her balance, and tumbled down the stairs, screaming like a slaughtered pig!
Lemira looked down at Evelina, her eyes icy, “Goodbye, oh wait, never see you again p>
“Lemira, you dare to hurt her?” Asher appeared at the staircase, furious.
Lemira’s tone was cold, “I didn’t lay a finger on her p>
Asher turned to his secretary, “What are you waiting for, call the police!” “Let’s see who dares p>
